Sommario/riassunto

From the political ashes of the late 1960's, new and radical initiatives grew with surprising speed in the first half of the 1970's. The New Radicals: A Generational Memoir of the 1970's tells the story of a generation of activists who embraced and developed forms of opposition politics that would have profound consequences. Within six short years, the politics of opposition and resistance had developed from an historical low point to the beginnings of a radicalism which would lead to February 1990 and the first democratic election in 1994.
